Playing with the Wii ....

The way tennis should be played - with a glass of wine in one hand.

After a busy start to the week, I found time to relax last night by having some dinner, wine and Wii at Amy's house. Amy bought her new Wii at the fake markets in Shanghai, but as all products from here are, this is 'genuine'! No really, it is. Genuine from Korea but translated into English. In order to play a game, first we had to set the Wii up - which we thought would be a challenge for two non-technical girls drinking wine. But, we surprised ourselves and were very quickly playing tennis.

Amy films the first outing of the Wii.

After moving everything out of the way (wine glasses included!), we went on to play a few games of tennis, some boxing and finally some 'Dancing with the Stars', muddling our way through as we tried to learn how it all worked.

They have obviously done many tests on the Wii and broken many objects!

I never thought that I would be 'into' video games such as these, but it's so much fun! Hmmm, I feel a trip to the fake markets coming on!

Those tennis lessons haven't paid off!
